“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now, mankind builds civilizations. He has gone beyond the child’s game. The toys are real, and yet basically the analogy holds. I am not condoning those violences that occur. The fact is that they can never be condoned, and yet they must be understood for what they are: man learning through his own errors. He also learns by his successes, and there are times when he holds his hand, moments of deliberation, periods of creativity. (Pause.) Identities take many roles in many lives.

There are periods, cycles if you prefer, through which such identities live and learn within your system. To some extent they are taught by others, practice teachers if you prefer. (Amused.

They are not in the same league, so to speak, as those whose reincarnational cycles are not complete.

Little wonder that psychic battles wage, and yet beyond your system there are refinements impossible to describe, and further developments more miraculous than those that have gone before. And through all of this, the entity formed from that massive chaos retains its identity and the knowledge of its pasts, and continues to grow in creativity.
